Sec.  993.54  Establishment of salable and reserve percentages.

    Whenever the Secretary finds, from the recommendations and 
supporting information supplied by the committee, or from any other 
available information, that to establish the percentages of prunes for 
any crop year which shall be salable prunes and reserve prunes, 
respectively, or to modify the previously established percentages, would 
tend to effectuate the declared policy of the act, he shall establish or 
modify such percentages. The salable and reserve percentages when 
applied to the natural condition weight of prunes, excluding the 
quantity of undersized prunes determined pursuant to Sec.  993.49(c), 
received during the crop year by a handler from producers and 
dehydrators, plus that diverted tonnage (dried weight natural condition 
prune basis) on diversion certificates issued pursuant to Sec.  993.62 
and credited to or held by him, shall determine the weight of each 
handler's receipts which are salable prunes and reserve prunes. The 
total of the salable and reserve percentages shall equal 100 percent. A 
cooperative marketing association may concentrate the prunes of its 
producer members before applying the salable and reserve percentages.
